However, I tend to appear and act as what others may see as ‘feminine’ and, by society standards, they wouldn’t be completely wrong. I feel no male alignment and never have, and I also consider myself a lesbian, since I already knew that about myself before later discovering my gender identity.

I do have dysphoria, but it’s not as strong as it used to be. Within a few years back, if someone called me woman, girly, etc, I would internally panic and start debating on if my identity was even real. Today, I can still feel that way, but usually I’m just able to roll my eyes at it and assure myself that I’m still me, and still valid.
